[Paraview] Bug in image Calculator?

[Max Schoebinger]

Hello,

I have attached the files I have used. For verification of vector 
orientation I have used the glyph-filter with the following settings for 
all images:

   Orient-Mode = Vector
   Scale Mode = Vector Magnitude
   Scale Factor =  1
   Vectors = Image File

If I  "transform" the file coordinateField_3x3x3.mhd (see image 
vectors-before-calculate.png) using the image calculator and the formula 
ImageFile_0*iHat - ImageFile_1*jHat + ImageFile_2*kHat paraview-1.4.2 
gave me the results i expected (vectors-after-calculate.png). Using 
paraview versions >= 1.6 the glyphed output of the calculator looks the 
same as depicted in vectors-before-calculate.png.

Note: in the current cvs version a bug has been fixed, which resulted in 
flipped vector fields if they were read from mhd files. So if you use 
the cvs-version from today, you have to swap the to images in mind ;-) 
Anyway, i think this is unrelated to the calculator behaviour i am 
observing.

Thanks,

Max
